Tired of Doing a Print Screen or a Mark->copy on a DOS Command Box? Go for a Better Option

This will help you saving your time, just a little work to do at once……



To copy the contents of your screen to a text editor like notepad, you can perform the following command instead of copying the text one screen at a time:
C:> | clip
For example, if you want to see all contents of the Program Files folder in your drive C:
  1. Select the Windows Start button, select Run and type “CMD” to launch a DOS session.
  2. Type C:>dir “Program Files” | clip
  3. Open a text editor and press [Ctrl]V to paste the contents.
The clip command will copy the output results of the to your Windows clipboard. Once you are in your text editor, do a normal paste like any Windows applications. This command works in XP and Vista as well as the newer Windows Servers (Windows 2000 Server and Up).
